<h1 class="whs1">Analyzing data in an RSS Reader widget</h1>
<p class="whs2"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><font size=1 style="font-size:9pt;">The Really Simply 
 Syndication (RSS) Reader widget allows you to compare and contrast data 
 in your dashboard with information from external news feed sources. </font></span></p>
<p class="whs2">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="whs2">You can configure the widget to display one 
 of the following types of RSS feeds:</p>
<p class="whs2">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="whs2"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Static RSS 
 feeds</B></span>: Static feeds display a default set of news about a general 
 topic, such as business or technology. These feeds are considered static 
 because their URLs are pre-configured to display information on a single 
 topic. The following are some examples of static RSS feeds:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs3">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/business</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/world</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/rss/business/index.xml</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/businessNews 
 </p></li>
</ul>
<p class="whs2">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="whs2"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Dynamic RSS 
 feeds</B></span>: Dynamic feeds are URLs that have been adjusted to display 
 information about a specific topic. You can use these useful and versatile 
 analysis tools in the RSS Reader widget to view the following:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs3">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">News related to a specific topic. 
 To create a dynamic feed, you must specify the topic in the RSS feed's 
 URL and adjust other parameters. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">News related to a specific MicroStrategy 
 attribute, document, or dataset. To create a dynamic feed that displays 
 news about the object, you must specify the object in the RSS feed's URL 
 and adjust other parameters, as described in the paragraph below.</p></li>
</ul>
